SEASON SEVEN
Our team provides travelers with visual and video aids every episode to help them better understand comparisons, learn more about topics, and follow what we’re discussing. While we strive to include links to official Genshin Impact resources, some may also be to third-party channels.
Below are some resources surrounding this episode about #### that may be helpful to understand the talking points and lore better:
Put your hands together for the second known therapist in Teyvat! Mizuki might not be on a boat like Beidou’s gal, but she’s still around lots of water as a major shareholder of the Aisa Bathhouse.
We talk about the adorable lil fluff nuggets that hang around Mizuki, aka, the Baku. IRL, Baku are said to look like tapirs, which is definitely seen in our versions as well.
Even Paimon makes mention that we’ve walked past the Aisa Bathhouse hundreds of times. But nowadays it’s hard to miss with Aikawa Susumu standing outside,
Did you run across Yumemizuki’s Cozy Corner in Natlan? Did you play detective like Tif and Feens or simply read the sign saying the Natlan branch of the Aisa Bathhouse is already under construction? Either way, be sure to go visit Mint Daifuku, she’s adorable.
Over at the Aisa Bathhouse, we meet two baku therapists – Shion and Murasaki. Shion is referred to as the flustered attendant, while Murasaki is said to be the lazy attendant. However, it’s pretty clear that Murasaki should have ‘sassy’ added to her title.
Umihiko and Susukida are our pair of former customers who defected when a new competitor arrived with big promises. Dumb and dumber over here got exactly what they paid for.
We have a wet sock alert! These Inazuma ladies sure do love getting their socks wet for us.
Chuuya may be possessed by some nefarious youkai hellbent on using nightmares to bring back his mostly extinct kind, but he’s still cute. Can someone bring Tif a red flag?
We learn there’s been a collective consciousness spanning Inazuma this whole time, collecting everyone’s dreams. In this Borderland, Kuroyume – the youkai – is seen as a giant eye. Very Renova of him.
This acid trip of a story quest ends with Traveler and Mizuki flying around and watching the baku feed on the bad dreams of the Inazumans.
Feens tells us about Mizuki’s outfit and how it’s inspired by robes from IRL bathhouses. She wonders why Mizuki is wearing a robe out and about all day, while Tif is obsessed with Mizuki’s tail.
Mizuki has two baku companions that represent portions of herself. They help her to therapize herself and show up bringing milk in her idle.
Here are some helpful links if you’re unfamiliar with the pop culture references we mentioned during the episode. Tif recalls Dumbo getting high, Bee sings us some Dreamweaver, Feen’s uses Jennifer’s Body for a comparison, Tif talks about the Only Fans subscriptions on Long Island, Tif compares the domain to Labrynth, and Bee tells us about Couples Therapy.
